  • Hiking
  • 2h 30m

I knew I wouldn't get much training in this weekend, but Rachelle and I did get to go hiking in Castlewood Canyon south of Franktown.  Had a great time and got some great pictures.  Based on the distances from the trail map, I'm estimating it was a little over 5 miles.  One of the funniest things was when we got back to the car.  Rachelle looked like she was really wiped out, so I asked her if she was going to take a nap on the way home.  "No, my legs are just tired" she assured me.  After five minutes on the road, she was actually snoring :)

 Pics are in my album if anyone's interested.

Took today as a day off.

Bike
  • 1h 30m
  • 27.90 miles
  • 18.60 Mi/hr

Although the training plan calls for a run and lift today, I'll probably swim and bike in order to give my legs as much rest as possible.  Hamstrings feel significantly better, but my calves are so tight I can feel them stretch by locking out my knee and standing.

Swim
  • 34m
  • 1600.00 yards
  • 02m 07s /100 yards

Felt good in the water but had to cut it short to get to work. Noticed a slight twinge in my neck towards the end of my workout. I'll have to do some stretching and make sure it doesn't turn into a problem.

1:33 bike ride planned for tonight as long as it doesn't rain..

I can't believe I'm admitting to this, but I gagged the ride cuz my legs are so freakin' sore from lift.  Calves and hamstrings are tight as a drum.  Did some stretching.  Hopefully I'll have recovered a bit more tomorrow.

Run
  • 48m 15s
  • 5.90 miles
  • 08m 10s /Mi

Mostly easy pace w/ some fartlek stuff thrown in. Course was fairly hilly and wind was a nuisance at times. After checking my distance on WalkJogRun.net, I was VERY pleased w/ my run. That right where I felt I should be, but wasn't sure that I was.

Quick workout over lunch

Well, I guess I'm back.  Last week was a terrible workout week!!!  It was supposed to be the peak of my training plan up to this point, but my logs indicate otherwise.  Between being busy, stressed, eating terribly and just generally wiped out, I accomplished very little last week.  I'm finally admitting to myself that I can and usually am a total lazy ass.  So I'm kicking off the first annual "Anti-Lazy Ass" week.  This goes for work, home and triathlons.  We'll see how it goes.  I've got alot planned and if I stick to "the plan" I'll actually get alot accomplished.  Today starts new week... let'r rip!!!
